Dynamic controlled variables based dynamic self-optimizing control
Self-optimizing control is a strategy for selecting controlled variables, where the economic objective guides the selection and design of controlled variables, with the expectation that maintaining the controlled variables at constant values can achieve optimization effects, translating the process optimization problem into a process control problem. Currently, self-optimizing control is widely applied to steady-state optimization problems. However, the development of process systems exhibits a trend towards refinement, highlighting the importance of optimizing dynamic processes such as batch processes and grade transitions. This paper formally introduces the self-optimizing control problem for dynamic optimization, termed the dynamic self-optimizing control problem, extending the original definition of self-optimizing control. A novel concept, ”dynamic controlled variables” (DCVs), is proposed, and an implicit control policy is presented based on this concept. The paper theoretically analyzes the advantages and generality of DCVs compared to explicit control strategies and elucidates the relationship between DCVs and traditional controllers. Moreover, this paper puts forth a data-driven approach to designing self-optimizing DCVs, which considers DCV design as a mapping identification problem and employs deep neural networks to parameterize the variables. Three case studies validate the efficacy and superiority of DCVs in approximating multi-valued and discontinuous functions, as well as their application to dynamic optimization problems with non-fixed horizons, which traditional self-optimizing control methods are unable to address.
期刊介绍:
This international journal covers the application of control theory, operations research, computer science and engineering principles to the solution of process control problems. In addition to the traditional chemical processing and manufacturing applications, the scope of process control problems involves a wide range of applications that includes energy processes, nano-technology, systems biology, bio-medical engineering, pharmaceutical processing technology, energy storage and conversion, smart grid, and data analytics among others.
Papers on the theory in these areas will also be accepted provided the theoretical contribution is aimed at the application and the development of process control techniques.
Topics covered include:
• Control applications• Process monitoring• Plant-wide control• Process control systems• Control techniques and algorithms• Process modelling and simulation• Design methods
Advanced design methods exclude well established and widely studied traditional design techniques such as PID tuning and its many variants. Applications in fields such as control of automotive engines, machinery and robotics are not deemed suitable unless a clear motivation for the relevance to process control is provided.
